PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Συγκαλέσας δε τους δώδεκα μαθητάς αυτού, έδωκεν εις αυτούς δύναμιν και εξουσίαν κατά πάντων των δαιμονίων και να θεραπεύωσι νόσους·
1 He called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.
1 Συγκαλεσάμενος δὲ τοὺς δώδεκα μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς δύναμιν καὶ ἐξουσίαν ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ δαιμόνια καὶ νόσους θεραπεύειν·
2 και απέστειλεν αυτούς διά να κηρύττωσι την βασιλείαν του Θεού και να ιατρεύωσι τους ασθενούντας,
2 He sent them out to preach God’s Kingdom and to heal the sick.
2 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς κηρύσσειν τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ ἰᾶσθαι τοὺς ἀσθενοῦντας,
3 και είπε προς αυτούς· Μη βαστάζετε μηδέν εις την οδόν, μήτε ράβδους μήτε σακκίον μήτε άρτον μήτε αργύριον μήτε να έχητε ανά δύο χιτώνας.
3 He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—no staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money. Don’t have two tunics each.
3 καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· μηδὲν αἴρετε εἰς τὴν ὁδόν, μήτε ῥάβδους μήτε πήραν μήτε ἄρτον μήτε ἀργύριον μήτε ἀνὰ δύο χιτῶνας ἔχειν.
4 Και εις ήντινα οικίαν εισέλθητε, εκεί μένετε και εκείθεν εξέρχεσθε.
4 Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.
4 καὶ εἰς ἣν ἂν οἰκίαν εἰσέλθητε, ἐκεῖ μένετε καὶ ἐκεῖθεν ἐξέρχεσθε.
5 Και όσοι δεν σας δεχθώσιν, εξερχόμενοι από της πόλεως εκείνης αποτινάξατε και τον κονιορτόν από των ποδών σας διά μαρτυρίαν κατ' αυτών.
5 As many as don’t receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”
5 καὶ ὅσοι ἐὰν μὴ δέξωνται ὑμᾶς, ἐξερχόμενοι ἀπὸ τῆς πόλεως ἐκείνης καὶ τὸν κονιορτὸν ἀπὸ τῶν ποδῶν ὑμῶν ἀποτινάξατε εἰς μαρτύριον ἐπ᾽ αὐτούς.
6 Εξερχόμενοι δε διήρχοντο από κώμης εις κώμην, κηρύττοντες το ευαγγέλιον και θεραπεύοντες πανταχού.
6 They departed and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News and healing everywhere.
6 ἐξερχόμενοι δὲ διήρχοντο κατὰ τὰς κώμας εὐαγγελιζόμενοι καὶ θεραπεύοντες πανταχοῦ.
7 Ήκουσε δε Ηρώδης ο τετράρχης πάντα τα γινόμενα υπ' αυτού, και ήτο εν απορία, διότι ελέγετο υπό τινών ότι ο Ιωάννης ανέστη εκ νεκρών·
7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,
7 Ἤκουσε δὲ Ἡρῴδης ὁ τετράρχης τὰ γινόμενα ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ πάντα, καὶ διηπόρει διὰ τὸ λέγεσθαι ὑπό τινων ὅτι Ἰωάννης ἐγήγερται ἐκ [τῶν] νεκρῶν,
8 υπό τινών δε ότι ο Ηλίας εφάνη, υπ' άλλων δε, ότι ανέστη εις των αρχαίων προφητών.
8 and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.
8 ὑπό τινων δὲ ὅτι Ἠλίας ἐφάνη, ἄλλων δὲ ὅτι προφήτης τις τῶν ἀρχαίων ἀνέστη.
9 Και είπεν ο Ηρώδης· Τον Ιωάννην εγώ απεκεφάλισα· τις δε είναι ούτος, περί του οποίου εγώ ακούω τοιαύτα; και εζήτει να ίδη αυτόν.
9 Herod said, “I beheaded John, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.
9 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Ἡρῴδης· Ἰωάννην ἐγὼ ἀπεκεφάλισα· τίς δέ ἐστιν οὗτος περὶ οὗ ἐγὼ ἀκούω τοιαῦτα; καὶ ἐζήτει ἰδεῖν αὐτόν.
10 Και υποστρέψαντες οι απόστολοι, διηγήθησαν προς αυτόν όσα έπραξαν. Και παραλαβών αυτούς απεσύρθη κατ' ιδίαν εις τόπον έρημον πόλεώς τινός ονομαζομένης Βηθσαϊδά.
10 The apostles, when they had returned, told him what things they had done. He took them and withdrew apart to a desert region of a city called Bethsaida.
10 Καὶ ὑποστρέψαντες οἱ ἀπόστολοι διηγήσαντο αὐτῷ ὅσα ἐποίησαν. καὶ παραλαβὼν αὐτοὺς ὑπεχώρησε κατ᾽ ἰδίαν εἰς τόπον ἔρημον πόλεως καλουμένης Βηθσαϊδά.
11 Οι δε όχλοι νοήσαντες ηκολούθησαν αυτόν, και δεχθείς αυτούς ελάλει προς αυτούς περί της βασιλείας του Θεού, και τους έχοντας χρείαν θεραπείας ιάτρευεν.
11 But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them of God’s Kingdom, and he cured those who needed healing.
11 οἱ δὲ ὄχλοι γνόντες ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ, καὶ δεξάμενος αὐτοὺς ἐλάλει αὐτοῖς περὶ τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ τοὺς χρείαν ἔχοντας θεραπείας ἰάσατο.
12 Η δε ημέρα ήρχισε να κλίνη· και προσελθόντες οι δώδεκα, είπον προς αυτόν· Απόλυσον τον όχλον, διά να υπάγωσιν εις τας πέριξ κώμας και τους αγρούς και να καταλύσωσι και να εύρωσι τροφάς, διότι εδώ είμεθα εν ερήμω τόπω.
12 The day began to wear away; and the twelve came and said to him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms and lodge and get food, for we are here in a deserted place.”
12 Ἡ δὲ ἡμέρα ἤρξατο κλίνειν· προσελθόντες δὲ οἱ δώδεκα εἶπον αὐτῷ· ἀπόλυσον τὸν ὄχλον, ἵνα πορευθέντες εἰς τὰς κύκλῳ κώμας καὶ τοὺς ἀγροὺς καταλύσωσι καὶ εὕρωσιν ἐπισιτισμόν, ὅτι ὧδε ἐν ἐρήμῳ τόπῳ ἐσμέν.
13 Και είπε προς αυτούς· Δότε σεις εις αυτούς να φάγωσιν. Οι δε είπον· Ημείς δεν έχομεν πλειότερον παρά πέντε άρτους και δύο ιχθύας, εκτός εάν υπάγωμεν ημείς και αγοράσωμεν τροφάς δι' όλον τον λαόν τούτον·
13 But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we should go and buy food for all these people.”
13 εἶπε δὲ πρὸς αὐτούς· δότε αὐτοῖς ὑμεῖς φαγεῖν. οἱ δὲ εἶπον· οὐκ εἰσὶν ἡμῖν πλεῖον ἢ πέντε ἄρτοι καὶ ἰχθύες δύο, εἰ μήτι πορευθέντες ἡμεῖς ἀγοράσομεν εἰς πάντα τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον βρώματα·
14 διότι ήσαν ως πεντακισχίλιοι άνδρες· και είπε προς τους μαθητάς αυτού· Καθίσατε αυτούς κατά αθροίσματα ανά πεντήκοντα.
14 For they were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
14 ἦσαν γὰρ ὡσεὶ ἄνδρες πεντακισχίλιοι. εἶπε δὲ πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ· κατακλίνατε αὐτοὺς κλισίας ἀνὰ πεντήκοντα.
15 Και έπραξαν ούτω, και εκάθησαν άπαντας.
15 They did so, and made them all sit down.
15 καὶ ἐποίησαν οὕτω καὶ ἀνέκλιναν ἅπαντας.
16 Λαβών δε τους πέντε άρτους και τους δύο ιχθύας, ανέβλεψεν εις τον ουρανόν και ευλόγησεν αυτούς και κατέκοψε, και έδιδεν εις τους μαθητάς διά να βάλλωσιν έμπροσθεν του όχλου.
16 He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to the sky, he blessed them, broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.
16 λαβὼν δὲ τοὺς πέντε ἄρτους καὶ τοὺς δύο ἰχθύας, ἀναβλέψας εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν εὐλόγησεν αὐτοὺς καὶ κατέκλασε, καὶ ἐδίδου τοῖς μαθηταῖς παραθεῖναι τῷ ὄχλῳ.
17 Και έφαγον και εχορτάσθησαν πάντες, και εσηκώθη το περισσεύσαν εις αυτούς εκ των κλασμάτων δώδεκα κοφίνια.
17 They ate and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
17 καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ ἐχορτάσθησαν πάντες, καὶ ἤρθη τὸ περισσεῦσαν αὐτοῖς κλασμάτων κόφινοι δώδεκα.
18 Και ενώ αυτός προσηύχετο καταμόνας, ήσαν μετ' αυτού οι μαθηταί, και ηρώτησεν αυτούς λέγων· Τίνα με λέγουσιν οι όχλοι ότι είμαι;
18 As he was praying alone, the disciples were near him, and he asked them, “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”
18 Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ εἶναι αὐτὸν προσευχόμενον καταμόνας, συνῆσαν αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταί, καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτοὺς λέγων· τίνα με λέγουσιν οἱ ὄχλοι εἶναι;
19 οι δε αποκριθέντες είπον· Ιωάννην τον Βαπτιστήν, άλλοι δε Ηλίαν, άλλοι δε ότι ανέστη τις των αρχαίων προφητών.
19 They answered, “‘John the Baptizer,’ but others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.”
19 οἱ δὲ ἀποκριθέντες εἶπον· Ἰωάννην τὸν βαπτιστήν, ἄλλοι δὲ Ἠλίαν, ἄλλοι δὲ ὅτι προφήτης τις τῶν ἀρχαίων ἀνέστη.
20 Είπε δε προς αυτούς· Σεις δε τίνα με λέγετε ότι είμαι; και αποκριθείς ο Πέτρος είπε· Τον Χριστόν του Θεού.
20 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”
20 εἶπε δὲ αὐτοῖς· ὑμεῖς δὲ τίνα με λέγετε εἶναι; ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Πέτρος εἶπε· τὸν Χριστὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ.
21 Ο δε προσέταξεν αυτούς σφοδρώς και παρήγγειλε να μη είπωσιν εις μηδένα τούτο,
21 But he warned them and commanded them to tell this to no one,
21 Ὁ δὲ ἐπιτιμήσας αὐτοῖς παρήγγειλε μηδενὶ λέγειν τοῦτο,
22 ειπών ότι πρέπει ο Υιός του ανθρώπου να πάθη πολλά και να καταφρονηθή από των πρεσβυτέρων και αρχιερέων και γραμματέων, και να θανατωθή και τη τρίτη ημέρα να αναστηθή.
22 saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.”
22 εἰπὼν ὅτι δεῖ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου πολλὰ παθεῖν καὶ ἀποδοκιμασθῆναι ἀπὸ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων καὶ ἀρχιερέων καὶ γραμματέων, καὶ ἀποκτανθῆναι, καὶ τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ ἐγερθῆναι.
23 Έλεγε δε προς πάντας· Εάν τις θέλη να έλθη οπίσω μου, ας απαρνηθή εαυτόν και ας σηκώση τον σταυρόν αυτού καθ' ημέραν και ας με ακολουθή.
23 He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.
23 Ἔλεγε δὲ πρὸς πάντας· εἴ τις θέλει ὀπίσω μου ἔρχεσθαι, ἀπαρνησάσθω ἑαυτὸν καὶ ἀράτω τὸν σταυρὸν αὐτοῦ καθ᾽ ἡμέραν καὶ ἀκολουθείτω μοι.
24 Διότι όστις θέλει να σώση την ζωήν αυτού, θέλει απολέσει αυτήν· και όστις απολέση την ζωήν αυτού ένεκεν ομού, ούτος θέλει σώσει αυτήν.
24 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake will save it.
24 ὃς γὰρ ἂν θέλῃ τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ σῶσαι, ἀπολέσει αὐτήν· ὃς δ᾽ ἂν ἀπολέσῃ τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ἕνεκεν ἐμοῦ, οὗτος σώσει αὐτήν.
25 Επειδή τι ωφελείται ο άνθρωπος, εάν κερδήση τον κόσμον όλον, εαυτόν δε απολέση ή ζημιωθή;
25 For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?
25 τί γὰρ ὠφελεῖται ἄνθρωπος κερδήσας τὸν κόσμον ὅλον, ἑαυτὸν δὲ ἀπολέσας ἢ ζημιωθείς;
26 Διότι όστις επαισχυνθή δι' εμέ και τους λόγους μου, διά τούτον ο Υιός του ανθρώπου θέλει επαισχυνθή, όταν έλθη εν τη δόξη αυτού και του Πατρός και των αγίων αγγέλων.
26 For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.
26 ὃς γὰρ ἐὰν ἐπαισχυνθῇ με καὶ τοὺς ἐμοὺς λόγους, τοῦτον ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐπαισχυνθήσεται ὅταν ἔλθῃ ἐν τῇ δόξῃ αὐτοῦ καὶ τοῦ πατρὸς καὶ τῶν ἁγίων ἀγγέλων.
27 Λέγω δε προς εσάς αληθώς, Είναι τινές των εδώ ισταμένων, οίτινες δεν θέλουσι γευθή θάνατον, εωσού ίδωσι την βασιλείαν του Θεού.
27 But I tell you the truth: There are some of those who stand here who will in no way taste of death until they see God’s Kingdom.”
27 λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν ἀληθῶς, εἰσί τινες τῶν ὧδε ἑστηκότων, οἳ οὐ μὴ γεύσωνται θανάτου ἕως ἂν ἴδωσι τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ.
28 Μετά δε τους λόγους τούτους παρήλθον έως οκτώ ημέραι, και παραλαβών τον Πέτρον και Ιωάννην και Ιάκωβον, ανέβη εις το όρος διά να προσευχηθή.
28 About eight days after these sayings, he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up onto the mountain to pray.
28 Ἐγένετο δὲ μετὰ τοὺς λόγους τούτους ὡσεὶ ἡμέραι ὀκτὼ καὶ παραλαβὼν τὸν Πέτρον καὶ Ἰωάννην καὶ Ἰάκωβον ἀνέβη εἰς τὸ ὄρος προσεύξασθαι.
29 Και ενώ προσηύχετο, ηλλοιώθη η όψις του προσώπου αυτού και τα ιμάτια αυτού έγειναν λευκά εξαστράπτοντα.
29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.
29 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ προσεύχεσθαι αὐτὸν τὸ εἶδος τοῦ προσώπου αὐτοῦ ἕτερον καὶ ὁ ἱματισμὸς αὐτοῦ λευκὸς ἐξαστράπτων.
30 και ιδού, άνδρες δύο συνελάλουν μετ' αυτού, οίτινες ήσαν Μωϋσής και Ηλίας,
30 Behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,
30 καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄνδρες δύο συνελάλουν αὐτῷ, οἵτινες ἦσαν Μωϋσῆς καὶ Ἠλίας,
31 οίτινες φανέντες εν δόξη, έλεγον τον θάνατον αυτού, τον οποίον έμελλε να εκπληρώση εν Ιερουσαλήμ.
31 who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
31 οἳ ὀφθέντες ἐν δόξῃ ἔλεγον τὴν ἔξοδον αὐτοῦ ἣν ἔμελλε πληροῦν ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ.
32 Ο δε Πέτρος και οι μετ' αυτού ήσαν βεβαρημένοι υπό του ύπνου· και ότε εξύπνησαν, είδον την δόξαν αυτού και τους δύο άνδρας τους ισταμένους μετ' αυτού.
32 Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.
32 ὁ δὲ Πέτρος καὶ οἱ σὺν αὐτῷ ἦσαν βεβαρημένοι ὕπνῳ· διαγρηγορήσαντες δὲ εἶδον τὴν δόξαν αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς δύο ἄνδρας τοὺς συνεστῶτας αὐτῷ.
33 Και ενώ αυτοί εχωρίζοντο απ' αυτού, είπεν ο Πέτρος προς τον Ιησούν· Επιστάτα, καλόν είναι να ήμεθα εδώ· και ας κάμωμεν τρεις σκηνάς, μίαν διά σε και διά τον Μωϋσήν μίαν και μίαν διά τον Ηλίαν, μη εξεύρων τι λέγει.
33 As they were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he said.
33 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ διαχωρίζεσθαι αὐτοὺς ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ εἶπεν ὁ Πέτρος πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν· ἐπιστάτα, καλόν ἐστιν ἡμᾶς ὧδε εἶναι· καὶ ποιήσωμεν σκηνὰς τρεῖς, μίαν σοὶ καὶ μίαν Μωϋσεῖ καὶ μίαν Ἠλίᾳ, μὴ εἰδὼς ὃ λέγει.
34 Ενώ δε αυτός έλεγε ταύτα, ήλθε νεφέλη και επεσκίασεν αυτούς· και εφοβήθησαν ότε εισήλθον εις την νεφέλην·
34 While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.
34 ταῦτα δὲ αὐτοῦ λέγοντος ἐγένετο νεφέλη καὶ ἐπεσκίασεν αὐτούς· ἐφοβήθησαν δὲ ἐν τῷ εἰσελθεῖν ἐκείνους εἰς τὴν νεφέλην·
35 και έγεινε φωνή εκ της νεφέλης, λέγουσα· Ούτος είναι ο Υιός μου ο αγαπητός· αυτού ακούετε.
35 A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”
35 καὶ φωνὴ ἐγένετο ἐκ τῆς νεφέλης λέγουσα· οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ἀγαπητός· αὐτοῦ ἀκούετε.
36 Και αφού έγεινεν η φωνή, ευρέθη ο Ιησούς μόνος· και αυτοί εσιώπησαν και προς ουδένα είπον εν εκείναις ταις ημέραις ουδέν εξ όσων είδον.
36 When the voice came, Jesus was found alone. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.
36 καὶ ἐν τῷ γενέσθαι τὴν φωνὴν εὑρέθη ὁ Ἰησοῦς μόνος. καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐσίγησαν καὶ οὐδενὶ ἀπήγγειλαν ἐν ἐκείναις ταῖς ἡμέραις οὐδὲν ὧν ἑωράκασιν.
37 Την δε ακόλουθον ημέραν, ότε κατέβησαν από του όρους, υπήντησεν αυτόν όχλος πολύς.
37 On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.
37 Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῇ ἑξῆς ἡμέρᾳ κατελθόντων αὐτῶν ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄρους συνήντησεν αὐτῷ ὄχλος πολύς.
38 Και ιδού, άνθρωπός τις εκ του όχλου ανέκραξε, λέγων· Διδάσκαλε, δέομαί σου, επίβλεψον επί τον υιόν μου, διότι μονογενής μου είναι·
38 Behold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only born child.
38 καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνὴρ ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄχλου ἀνεβόησε λέγων· διδάσκαλε, δέομαί σου, ἐπίβλεψον ἐπὶ τὸν υἱόν μου, ὅτι μονογενής μοί ἐστι·
39 και ιδού, δαιμόνιον πιάνει αυτόν, και εξαίφνης κράζει και σπαράττει αυτόν μετά αφρού, και μόλις αναχωρεί απ' αυτού, συντρίβον αυτόν·
39 Behold, a spirit takes him, he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams; and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.
39 καὶ ἰδοὺ πνεῦμα λαμβάνει αὐτόν, καὶ ἐξαίφνης κράζει καὶ σπαράσσει αὐτὸν μετὰ ἀφροῦ, καὶ μόγις ἀποχωρεῖ ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ συντρῖβον αὐτόν·
40 και παρεκάλεσα τους μαθητάς σου διά να εκβάλωσιν αυτό, και δεν ηδυνήθησαν.
40 I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldn’t.”
40 καὶ ἐδεήθην τῶν μαθητῶν σου ἵνα ἐκβάλωσιν αὐτό, καὶ οὐκ ἠδυνήθησαν.
41 Αποκριθείς δε ο Ιησούς, είπεν· Ω γενεά άπιστος και διεστραμμένη, έως πότε θέλω είσθαι μεθ' υμών και θέλω υπομένει υμάς; φέρε τον υιόν σου εδώ.
41 Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”
41 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν· ὦ γενεὰ ἄπιστος καὶ διεστραμμένη, ἕως πότε ἔσομαι πρὸς ὑμᾶς καὶ ἀνέξομαι ὑμῶν; προσάγαγε τὸν υἱόν σου ὧδε.
42 Και ενώ αυτός έτι προσήρχετο, έρριψεν αυτόν κάτω το δαιμόνιον και κατεσπάραξεν· ο δε Ιησούς επετίμησε το πνεύμα το ακάθαρτον και ιάτρευσε το παιδίον και απέδωκεν αυτό εις τον πατέρα αυτού.
42 While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
42 ἔτι δὲ προσερχομένου αὐτοῦ ἔρρηξεν αὐτὸν τὸ δαιμόνιον καὶ συνεσπάραξεν· ἐπετίμησε δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς τῷ πνεύματι τῷ ἀκαθάρτῳ, καὶ ἰάσατο τὸν παῖδα καὶ ἀπέδωκεν αὐτὸν τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ.
43 Εξεπλήττοντο δε πάντες επί την μεγαλειότητα του Θεού. Και ενώ πάντες εθαύμαζον διά πάντα όσα έκαμεν ο Ιησούς, είπε προς τους μαθητάς αυτού·
43 They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,
43 ἐξεπλήσσοντο δὲ πάντες ἐπὶ τῇ μεγαλειότητι τοῦ Θεοῦ. Πάντων δὲ θαυμαζόντων ἐπὶ πᾶσιν οἷς ἐποίησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς, εἶπε πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ·
44 Βάλετε σεις εις τα ώτα σας τους λόγους τούτους· διότι ο Υιός του ανθρώπου μέλλει να παραδοθή εις χείρας ανθρώπων.
44 “Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men.”
44 θέσθε ὑμεῖς εἰς τὰ ὦτα ὑμῶν τοὺς λόγους τούτους· ὁ γὰρ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου μέλλει παραδίδοσθαι εἰς χεῖρας ἀνθρώπων.
45 Εκείνοι όμως δεν ενόουν τον λόγον τούτον, και ήτο αποκεκρυμμένος απ' αυτών, διά να μη νοήσωσιν αυτόν, και εφοβούντο να ερωτήσωσιν αυτόν περί του λόγου τούτου.
45 But they didn’t understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
45 οἱ δὲ ἠγνόουν τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο, καὶ ἦν παρακεκαλυμμένον ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν ἵνα μὴ αἴσθωνται αὐτό, καὶ ἐφοβοῦντο ἐρωτῆσαι αὐτὸν περὶ τοῦ ῥήματος τούτου.
46 Εισήλθε δε εις αυτούς διαλογισμός, τις τάχα εξ αυτών ήτο μεγαλήτερος.
46 An argument arose among them about which of them was the greatest.
46 Εἰσῆλθε δὲ διαλογισμὸς ἐν αὐτοῖς, τὸ τίς ἂν εἴη μείζων αὐτῶν.
47 Ο δε Ιησούς, ιδών τον διαλογισμόν της καρδίας αυτών, επίασε παιδίον και έστησεν αυτό πλησίον εαυτού
47 Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,
47 ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἰδὼν τὸν διαλογισμὸν τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν, ἐπιλαβόμενος παιδίου ἔστησεν αὐτὸ παρ᾽ ἑαυτῷ
48 και είπε προς αυτούς· Όστις δεχθή τούτο το παιδίον εις το όνομά μου, εμέ δέχεται, και όστις δεχθή εμέ, δέχεται τον αποστείλαντά με· διότι ο υπάρχων μικρότερος μεταξύ πάντων υμών ούτος θέλει είσθαι μέγας.
48 and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will be great.”
48 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ὃς ἐὰν δέξηται τοῦτο τὸ παιδίον ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου, ἐμὲ δέχεται, καὶ ὃς ἐὰν ἐμὲ δέξηται, δέχεται τὸν ἀποστείλαντά με. ὁ γὰρ μικρότερος ἐν πᾶσιν ὑμῖν ὑπάρχων, οὗτός ἐστι μέγας.
49 Αποκριθείς δε ο Ιωάννης, είπεν· Επιστάτα, είδομέν τινά εκβάλλοντα τα δαιμόνια εν τω ονόματί σου, και ημποδίσαμεν αυτόν, διότι δεν ακολουθεί μεθ' ημών.
49 John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow with us.”
49 Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰωάννης εἶπεν· ἐπιστάτα, εἴδομέν τινα ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί σου ἐκβάλλοντα δαιμόνια, καὶ ἐκωλύσαμεν αὐτόν, ὅτι οὐκ ἀκολουθεῖ μεθ᾽ ἡμῶν.
50 Και είπε προς αυτόν ο Ιησούς· Μη εμποδίζετε· διότι όστις δεν είναι καθ' ημών, είναι υπέρ ημών.
50 Jesus said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”
50 καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ Ἰησοῦς· μὴ κωλύετε· οὐ γάρ ἐστι καθ᾽ ὑμῶν· ὃς γὰρ οὐκ ἔστι καθ᾽ ὑμῶν, ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν ἐστιν.
51 Και ότε συνεπληρούντο αι ημέραι διά να αναληφθή, τότε αυτός έκαμε στερεάν απόφασιν να υπάγη εις Ιερουσαλήμ.
51 It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem
51 Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ συμπληροῦσθαι τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ἀναλήψεως αὐτοῦ καὶ αὐτὸς ἐστήριξε τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ τοῦ πορεύεσθαι εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ,
52 Και απέστειλεν έμπροσθεν αυτού μηνυτάς, οίτινες πορευθέντες εισήλθον εις κώμην Σαμαρειτών, διά να κάμωσιν ετοιμασίαν εις αυτόν.
52 and sent messengers before his face. They went and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.
52 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἀγγέλους πρὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ. καὶ πορευθέντες εἰσῆλθον εἰς κώμην Σαμαρειτῶν, ὥστε ἑτοιμάσαι αὐτῷ·
53 Και δεν εδέχθησαν αυτόν, διότι εφαίνετο ότι επορεύετο εις Ιερουσαλήμ.
53 They didn’t receive him, because he was traveling with his face set toward Jerusalem.
53 καὶ οὐκ ἐδέξαντο αὐτόν, ὅτι τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἦν πορευόμενον εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ.
54 Ιδόντες δε οι μαθηταί αυτού Ιάκωβος και Ιωάννης, είπον· Κύριε, θέλεις να είπωμεν να καταβή πυρ από του ουρανού και να αφανίση αυτούς, καθώς και ο Ηλίας έκαμε;
54 When his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky and destroy them, just as Elijah did?”
54 ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ Ἰάκωβος καὶ Ἰωάννης εἶπον· Κύριε, θέλεις εἴπωμεν πῦρ καταβῆναι ἀπὸ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἀναλῶσαι αὐτούς, ὡς καὶ Ἠλίας ἐποίησε;
55 Στραφείς δε επέπληξεν αυτούς και είπε· δεν εξεύρετε ποίου πνεύματος είσθε σείς·
55 But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.
55 στραφεὶς δὲ ἐπετίμησεν αὐτοῖς [καὶ εἶπεν· οὐκ οἴδατε ποίου πνεύματός ἐστε ὑμεῖς·
56 διότι ο Υιός του ανθρώπου δεν ήλθε να απολέση ψυχάς ανθρώπων, αλλά να σώση. Και υπήγον εις άλλην κώμην.
56 For the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” They went to another village.
56 ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου οὐκ ἦλθε ψυχὰς ἀνθρώπων ἀπολέσαι, ἀλλὰ σῶσαι]. καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν εἰς ἑτέραν κώμην.
57 Ενώ δε επορεύοντο, είπε τις προς αυτόν καθ' οδόν· Θέλω σε ακολουθήσει όπου αν υπάγης, Κύριε.
57 As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”
57 Ἐγένετο δὲ πορευομένων αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ εἶπέ τις πρὸς αὐτόν· ἀκολουθήσω σοι ὅπου ἐὰν ἀπέρχῃ, Κύριε.
58 Και είπε προς αυτόν ο Ιησούς· Αι αλώπεκες έχουσι φωλεάς και τα πετεινά του ουρανού κατοικίας, ο δε Υιός του ανθρώπου δεν έχει που να κλίνη την κεφαλήν.
58 Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”
58 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· αἱ ἀλώπεκες φωλεοὺς ἔχουσι καὶ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατασκηνώσεις, ὁ δὲ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου οὐκ ἔχει ποῦ τὴν κεφαλὴν κλίνῃ.
59 Είπε δε προς άλλον· Ακολούθει μοι. Ο δε είπε· Κύριε, συγχώρησόν μοι να υπάγω πρώτον να θάψω τον πατέρα μου.
59 He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”
59 Εἶπε δὲ πρὸς ἕτερον· ἀκολούθει μοι· ὁ δὲ εἶπε· Κύριε, ἐπίτρεψόν μοι ἀπελθόντι πρῶτον θάψαι τὸν πατέρα μου.
60 Και ο Ιησούς είπε προς αυτόν· Άφες τους νεκρούς να θάψωσι τους εαυτών νεκρούς· συ δε απελθών κήρυττε την βασιλείαν του Θεού.
60 But Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce God’s Kingdom.”
60 εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἄφες τοὺς νεκροὺς θάψαι τοὺς ἑαυτῶν νεκρούς· σὺ δὲ ἀπελθὼν διάγγελλε τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ.
61 Είπε δε και άλλος· θέλω σε ακολουθήσει, Κύριε· πρώτον όμως συγχώρησόν μοι να αποχαιρετήσω τους εις τον οίκόν μου.
61 Another also said, “I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are at my house.”
61 Εἶπε δὲ καὶ ἕτερος· ἀκολουθήσω σοι, Κύριε· πρῶτον δὲ ἐπίτρεψόν μοι ἀποτάξασθαι τοῖς εἰς τὸν οἶκόν μου.
62 Και είπε προς αυτόν ο Ιησούς· Ουδείς βαλών την χείρα αυτού επί άροτρον και βλέπων εις τα οπίσω είναι αρμόδιος διά την βασιλείαν του Θεού.
62 But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for God’s Kingdom.”
62 εἶπε δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς πρὸς αὐτόν· οὐδεὶς ἐπιβαλὼν τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπ᾽ ἄροτρον καὶ βλέπων εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω εὔθετός ἐστιν εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Give ye ear to that which the Lord hath given me to speak on the lesson of the Gospel. For we have read, that the Lord Jesus acted differently, when one man offered himself to follow Him, and was disallowed; another did not dare this, and was aroused; a third put off, and was blamed.

… head;"-- the animal, when He said to him that declared, "I will follow Thee, but suffer me first to bid them farewell that are in my house," "No man, putting his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of heaven" (for this man they declare to be of the intermediate class, even as they do …
But after that, from reading and inquiry, he had derived strength, and feared lest he should be denied by Christ before the holy angels if he now was afraid to confess Him before men, and appeared to himself guilty of a great fault in being ashamed of the sacraments of the humility of Thy word, and not being ashamed of …

For that even after his death he had the terror of him in full strength, hear what He saith, "This is John, whom I slew." Now the expression, "I slew," is that of one not exulting, but soothing his own terror, and persuading his troubled soul to call to mind, that he himself slew him.

… on Mount Sinai: Moses was in a clift of the rock, and Elias was once in a clift of the rock: they being present with Him at His Transfiguration on Mount Tabor, spoke to the Disciples of His decease which fire should accomplish at Jerusalem.
